The Chief Detective Inspector is dead. I'm now the top police officer in Hong Kong!

Chapter 91: The “Remnant Party” knows the “Remnant Party” best (44, please subscribe for a monthly ticket)
Robin felt he had grasped the key point, his mind racing. He couldn't help but connect the gold robbery with Lin Tiansheng and Pi Zhibang. He turned to look at Pi Zhibang, that fat bastard, who was still laughing and joking.

Although no one had told him that the gold processing plant was a money laundering facility for foreigners, as the chief inspector of East Kowloon, he could still vaguely sense something unusual from the foreigners' unusual reaction.

If it were an ordinary case, how could it be upgraded to a higher level of investigation and supervised by the Kowloon Regional Chief Inspector without the backer's money and effort?

Sixty-five kilograms of gold is a lot, but when a Chinese-owned gold shop is robbed, the foreigners just laugh it off and tell the Major Crimes Unit to handle it normally.

Most of the time, it takes the factory owner spending money to bribe both the legitimate and criminal elements to work together in order to catch the criminals.

"If the owner behind the gold mining factory is a foreigner, or even a foreigner in the police force, then things get serious, and there are many more ways to play the game."

Robin put down the statement book, his eyes deep in thought, when a startling answer popped into his mind: "He helped the corrupt cop find out that the owner of the gold mine was a foreigner. In order to get ahead, he stole the accounts and tried to blackmail the foreigner in order to gain a foothold in the police force and be reinstated."

To reach the position of Chief Inspector of the Operations Branch, he was by no means incompetent; he possessed keen insight into both case handling and politics. However, his mindset was still rooted in that of corrupt cops; he hadn't adapted to changing circumstances, making it impossible for him to anticipate Lin Tiansheng's plans.

Just to bring down a senior inspector in a district, they're going to wage war against the foreigners?
What a joke, this is completely illogical.

Conversely, if it's just about securing a foothold for survival, it's worth the risk. Based on Robin's understanding of the remnants, once they regroup, they'll definitely have the courage to go all out.

The amount involved in the case far exceeded Lin Tiansheng's expectations, and things were taking a wrong turn. Robin, however, felt that the answer in his mind, though astonishing, was very reasonable. If he could find the accounts, he might be able to take his place and become one of the foreigners.

"We must find the accounts."

After confirming the direction, Robin did not rush to take action. Instead, he worked from the perspective of the "remnants" and meticulously investigated the case. Finding the murderer would be a quick process.

After all, the remaining members of the gang were few in number, and no group could escape his notice. So he went deep among the witnesses, questioning them one by one, and as more and more corroborated testimonies came in, the answers became clearer and clearer. Until he heard a passerby use a police password, the identity of the kidnappers became obvious.

“Ah Feng, I’ll give you a list. Go through all the trails.” Robin was efficient. He took a pen and paper and wrote down more than thirty names. Tian Haishan was the first, and Du Yanhui, Ye Jiu and others were also on the list. He then tore off the paper and handed it to Liu Shifeng of the East Kowloon Police Station. He said in particular, “If anyone is missing, bring their family to the police station first. Interrogate them thoroughly. There will definitely be results.”

Liu Shifeng dared not be negligent. He took the paper and recognized the people in charge. Several of them were his police academy instructors. His expression changed slightly.

Robin, dressed in a yellow floral shirt, had a neat and capable appearance, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes: "This is not the time to show mercy. After this job, everyone will be promoted and made a fortune."

Liu Shifeng nodded and said, "I understand."

"Ah Sheng, pick two unfamiliar guys to be paparazzi and keep an eye on Lam Tin-shing in West Kowloon." Robin's eyes swept over Pi Chi-pong in the corner. Given Pi Chi-pong's status, he probably wouldn't personally take the ledgers; the most likely scenario would be that the handover would be handled by the standard-bearer of the corrupt police gang.

Why did that group of defeated soldiers choose Lin Tiansheng, a young man, to lead the charge? Because Lin Tiansheng held the lowest rank and was the least afraid of death, so he was the one who did the riskiest tasks.

"Yes, sir." Chen Musheng agreed, selected two people, and specially drove his private car to stake out the entrance of West Kowloon.

After driving away from the crime scene, Lin Tiansheng passed Prince Edward Road and suddenly stopped his car, saying, "Ah Quan, buy me a pineapple bun and a cup of milk tea."

One serving per person.

Chen Anquan unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed open the door and got out of the car: "Understood, Brother Sheng."

Adu and his two companions waited in the car without receiving any orders. After Chen Anquan entered a roadside tea restaurant, he ordered his food, placed a HK$100 note on the table, and said with a smile, "May I borrow your phone?"

The girl with the cleavage-shaking boobs' eyes lit up when she saw the money, and she readily agreed, "Whatever."

Chen Anquan, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, hid behind the bar, dialed a number, and casually said, "Things have gotten serious. I'm going abroad for a couple of days to avoid the storm."

Ye Jiu, hiding in a rented room in Kwun Tong, smoked a cigarette and said, "I understand."

"Please pick up the goods at the Regent Hotel on Shing Yip Street, Kwun Tong."

Chen Anquan replied, "Received."

Ye Jiu hung up the phone. His brothers were gathered around the TV eating instant noodles. At their feet were several backpacks filled with gold worth over ten million.

However, the case is currently under intense scrutiny, and the goods cannot be shipped out for the time being. Afterwards, after deducting the expenses for fleeing and the arms, it will be no problem for each person to net five or six hundred thousand.

The guys really made a fortune, but the gold they brought was far more than they imagined. With the police cracking down so hard, staying in Hong Kong Island is definitely out of the question.

Going abroad for a few days of fun isn’t so bad, but he couldn’t understand how his brothers could scoop up 65 kilograms in less than ten minutes!

They run incredibly fast, without wasting any time.

Lin Tiansheng, along with Ah Du and his three companions, followed the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) files on the street, finding various triad members in Mong Kok. They stopped them, threw their identification cards at them, and asked if they knew anything about the robbery in Hung Hom or if they had heard of anyone coming ashore. The triad members were completely baffled and started cursing. Even Zhang Qianwen, Du Cheng, and Bao Zhongren felt like they were looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Inspector Lin, time is tight. Should we try a different route?" Du Cheng looked at the approaching dusk, the streetlights coming on, and the streetwalkers already at work, his expression somewhat worried.

In the alley, Lin Tiansheng unlocked the handcuffs of a gangster, kicked him in the back, and let him go. He swung the silver bracelet and said, "What are you afraid of? It's not like it's an O-Team case. I'm just helping out."

Just as Ah Du was about to speak again, Lin Sir's cell phone rang. Zhang Qianwen quickly reached out and pulled him back, slowly shaking his head.

Lin Tiansheng glanced at the group, walked more than ten meters, and said in a low voice, "Miao sir, why are you making a phone call so late?"

Miao Haishan's face was contorted with rage, his voice laced with threat as he said, "You guys from East Kowloon, you've taken my comrades' families away. Go get your things and release them right now. I'm warning you, if the brothers refuse to leave and something happens to their families, you'll be taken down too!"

Lin Tiansheng was stunned for a moment. Hearing the dial tone, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He quickly walked out of the alley and dialed Pi Zhibang's number: "Regent Hotel, Shing Yip Street, Kwun Tong, quick!"

Those corrupt police officers have been living on Hong Kong Island. Do any of their families know that they gather at the Regent Hotel? Or is the Regent Hotel a place where they play cards and relax?

Lin Tiansheng hadn't expected Robin from East Kowloon to be so sharp, daring, and to have grasped the key point. He dared not gamble any longer and immediately rushed to the scene.

Seeing the big boss rush outside, Chen Anquan was the first to react and followed after him, saying, "Let's go, let's get to work."
